I've been diagnosed with dry eyes due to allergies, but can't stand to put drops in to improve things. I'd rather live with things as they are. You should have seen me trying to behave for the test! I was very good, but ugh. It was terrible! They put litmus strips in each eye and measured the moisture. It was torture!

I have very dry eyes, but can't stand to put drops in to treat the condition. Nor will I hold still for someone else to put makeup on my eyes. (shudder) I once had an allergist appointment and the nurse was trying to test the dryness of my eyes. I tried to behave, I really did! But I kept leaning away unconsciously.And to be honest, I've thought about the whole head-shaving option.....
